Urgent Call To Stop ongoing mass-torture of Amhara Youths in Birsheleko Concentration Camp!
________________________________________
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) minority regime, following a deadly crackdown of protesters over the past two weeks in Amhara cities and towns, detained thousands of youths and concentrated them in a military training camp called Birsheleko. They call the place in its operational name “Meseretawi Maseltegna,” located bordering a small town called Tach-Ber. Birsheleko is 18 kilometers away from Finote Selam—a small zonal town, 389.5 kilometers northwest of Addis Ababa, and 170.4 kilometers east of Bahir Dar, the capital city of The State of Amhara. The TPLF-minority regime, which has been busy in mass-murdering of the Amhara for the past 25 more years, is now actively accelerating its genocidal activities more than ever before. Informants told us that there is an ongoing high-level torture—inhuman tortures hard to explain in words—taking place. Each night more youths are detained by the military and transported to Birsheleko to face an ethnic (Amhara)-targeted torture. We are desperately demanding the international community to immediately take action and help rescue the endangered lives of Amhara civilians in Birsheleko concentration camp!

With 200 members the Social-Democrat is the second largest group within the European Parliament. For Ethiopia and Ethiopians though Ana Gomes is best remembered for her role as the leader of the EU election observers’ team during the 2005 crisis-induced general election in Ethiopia. She has had a troubled relationship with Ethiopia’s late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who she still calls “a dictator,” after she published her report in which wrote the election was massively rigged. Eight years later, Ana Gomes came to Ethiopia to participate in the just concluded 26 th ACP-EU parliamentary meeting. Her arrival in Addis Ababa caught many, who thought she would never be allowed to set foot in Ethiopia, by a surprise. Addis Standard’s deputy-editor-in-chief Tesfaye Ejigu met Ana Gomes during the
